Posted by Mal on August 20, 2009 at 11:47 AM EDT #

Every time I watch an episode, I love the webseries more and moree!!! Great job!! Can't wait for next Tuesday! :D

Posted by Ally on August 20, 2009 at 11:50 AM EDT #

That episode was a shocker to see of knowing Reed had choose the Billings girls over Thomas, that's a shocked to end this by Thomas saying: You'll see the last of me. Please here, he just drunk up or maybe not?

Posted by Keli on August 20, 2009 at 11:51 AM EDT #

nnoooo !!! i want thomas to stayyy ! at least he didnt embaress her like her did in the book. and to answer the question... it depends why my friends didnt approv of himm.. if it was because of his family or he didnt have money i would still date himbut if it was because they were watching out for me i would listen to them ant wait till the next episode !

Posted by cattt on August 20, 2009 at 11:51 AM EDT #

omgg! awesome episode! happy birthday brant! i LOVE the web series! Cant wait till next tuesday! all the Billings Girls are amazing actresses! LOVE IT! KEEP EM COMING!

Posted by Jessica:) on August 20, 2009 at 11:51 AM EDT #

Oh my goshhh. THat was intense. Gahhh. Cant wait until tomorrow.

Posted by Shae on August 20, 2009 at 11:54 AM EDT #

oh ya and i would probably listen to my friends. cause if he had problems like thomas did then i would listen to my friends. i also probably wouldve chose the billings girls over thomas

Posted by Jessica:) on August 20, 2009 at 11:54 AM EDT #

13th comment? I would so date someone regardless of what my friends and fam think. Love is blind afterall and don't we all learn the most important lessons on love after our mistakes? If he turns out to be a bad choice then i would have learned my lesson...OMG. I flipped out when i saw Blake and Kiran kiss, i guess it's cause i don't see anything happening in both ur books until it actually happens. I am STARVING for next episode! Why do they have to only be on Tues, Wed, and Thurs????? And why are they only about 5 min per episode??? :0

Posted by Giulia on August 20, 2009 at 11:55 AM EDT #

Wait...no...17

Posted by Giulia on August 20, 2009 at 11:55 AM EDT #

First of all, I really couldn't care less if my friends approve or not. I love Brant though, HOT! I wonder if he reads these comments, hmm. I really love Noelle as a blonde, I didn't at first but now I do..Samantha is gorgeous. Although I kinda wanted Thomas to embarrass Reed as in the books. Just cause thats somewhat of a major part in the first book. -Rebecca

Posted by xxJHAxx on August 20, 2009 at 11:57 AM EDT #

DANIELLE: ohkae, so their at the bonfire and theres drinking of course. noelle has reed go get drinks for everyone and then thats when reed sees kiran and blake kissing but kiran and blake dont know she saw +so reed just goes back to the bonfire. then thomas comes and is mad because shes with the billings girls +hes like drunk. + then him and josh have a little argument. then thomas makes reed choose and she chooses the billings girls. +then hes like'this is the last time youll ever see me' and leaves and josh follows him.

Posted by Emily on August 20, 2009 at 11:58 AM EDT #

I WISH THE EPIES WERE LNGER, BUT OH WELL. THE LATEST EPIE WAS GOOD BUT LACKED THE IMPORTANT LINES. ANYWAYS, GOOD EPISODE!

Posted by Stevie Herrera on August 20, 2009 at 11:58 AM EDT #

That was kind of...melodramatic, haha. I think this version of the Thomas and Reed showdown made Reed appear more like a...jerk, I guess would be a nice term for it. At least in the book Reed had reason to choose the Billings girls, but in this episode Thomas didn't seem drunk, just really, really hurt and upset. I kind of laughed at seeing Kiran and Blake though...it was just soooo, "Wait, what?" Dreck Boy replacement? I don't like Blake...he doesn't look or act very Blake-ish. I guess I assumed there would be more friction between him and Thomas. Definitely have to go with I probably wouldn't go out with someone my friends didn't approve of if the reason was that they were watching out for me and thought he was dangerous, would hurt me, etc. If it was for something stupid like they think he's not cute then I would date him anyways.

Posted by Lauren on August 20, 2009 at 11:58 AM EDT #

+then noelle likes 'you made the right choice.' :)

Posted by Emily on August 20, 2009 at 11:59 AM EDT #

OMG!!! I loved that episode cant wait for the next one.. but the first book is going by really fast. im going to have to read private again.. i probably would date a guy if i liked him enough but if he had problems probably not... Happy Birthday Brant!!!

Posted by Catherine on August 20, 2009 at 11:59 AM EDT #

I read chapter 2 of suspicion. on simon&schuster.

Posted by Erika on August 20, 2009 at 12:02 PM EDT #

Posted by sam on August 20, 2009 at 12:08 PM EDT #

part of me wishes the scene at campfire was different becuz thomas is sopposed to get mad and thats wen he hurts reed so the billings girls take revenge so it was a big part in the books!!!HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRANT!!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!

Posted by veronica on August 20, 2009 at 12:12 PM EDT #

Such a good episode; of course it's a Thursday epi. that's leavning me wanting more! And did it have to end with Thomas/Brant! Aaah; that's gonna make me want more too! I hope he doesn't disappear in the next epi. ): &As for the question... I guess I would still date him. Unless my friends knows some really bad history of him, then I guess I would I wouldn't date him. If he was like Thomas though... I just hope he wouldn't hurt me. [x Oh, and P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRANT!<3 :)

Posted by Yvonne on August 20, 2009 at 12:13 PM EDT #

Nooo thomas dont leave! i would go after him!! not stay with the billings lol brant is soooo hot!! i <3 him!

Wait, how do you guys know it's is birthday?

Posted by Yvonne on August 20, 2009 at 12:16 PM EDT #

*his Haha, but nevermind. I checked his IMDb profile. ;)

Posted by Yvonne on August 20, 2009 at 12:16 PM EDT #

OMG I was super pumped up for this episode!!! I knew the campfire scene was going to be good, cause that's basiclly where everything starts that changes Reed's life at Billings!!! But **********PLEASE MAKE THE WEBSHOW'S LLLOOONNNGGGEEERRR!!!********** I would really really like that!!! :) -- xoxo Isabella

Posted by isabella on August 20, 2009 at 12:17 PM EDT #

it's on Brant' Twitter and u can look it up. xD

Posted by sam on August 20, 2009 at 12:18 PM EDT #

I think that They should make Josh's hair the same way it was in the interviews in the extras! Cause it looked hotttt like thattt! Omg I lovve Thomas too and that's why I liked Last Christmmas a lot bbuuttt I must say I am very PRo-Reed/Josh (Rosh!!)

Posted by Ariana on August 20, 2009 at 12:20 PM EDT #

Haha, okay thanks Sam. It also says on his IMBd profile. ;) Gaaah, I wanna say happy birthday to him on Twitter, but Twitter isn't working for me! ):

Posted by Yvonne on August 20, 2009 at 12:21 PM EDT #

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i just read it the 2nd chapter of Suspicion it is soo good but different than i imagined it!!!!!!!!!! i love it sooo much!!!!! kate u r an amazing writer!!!!!!!! luv u brant!!!!!

Posted by Brittany on August 20, 2009 at 12:23 PM EDT #

no offense, but everything is mixed up. They have really bad acting. It's like watching the movie Twilight where you can't stop laughing because it's so ridiculous. None of the people look like they should. It does not make sense. I read the books and I'm so confused now because of the episodes. And they're not even episodes. They're like 4 minutes long.

Posted by Allison on August 20, 2009 at 12:24 PM EDT #

Oh NO!!!! Thomas was so romantic when he talked to Reed at the bonfire. Gosh Reed I luv you and all but don't leave Thomas.

Posted by Najma on August 20, 2009 at 12:28 PM EDT #

OMGOMG. suspicion is soooo goood. HUGE SPOILER ALERT:::: who do u think pushed her??? omg i love Upton. awl. and Sawyer?? he definetly likes REED. Im making up nickname for Upton and Reed: Rupton!! lol

Posted by Jenn on August 20, 2009 at 12:28 PM EDT #

The actor that plays Thomas is smoking hot! But in the book, I remember him being more violent with Reed than "okay I'll just go." Blake and Kiran's kiss...very nice :-) I wish the episodes were longer, and more accurate to the book...it's a bit disappointing especially some characters's appearances like Noelle, Taylor, Josh, and even Kiran. THE BOOKS OWN ALL. But they def. are good actors.

Posted by Adrianna on August 20, 2009 at 12:30 PM EDT #

i just read the 2nd chapter of suspicion and omg its amazing!

Posted by jenna on August 20, 2009 at 12:30 PM EDT #

It was a good epie. I just don't want Thomas so soooon! No! Come back!! As for your question, Kate, I would go out with him if he had bad history and do crazy stuff. But if my friends had a bad reason or lied about his bad history and I asked him and found out that it was a lie, I'd still date him. Brant is really hot. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRANT!!!! We love you! Oh, by the way, I JUST finished reading chapter 2 of suspicion!! I was like OMG!!! Such a great chapter! Poor Sawyer, though ): I feel for him! You're such an awesome writer, Kate! We love you! XoXo

Posted by Janie on August 20, 2009 at 12:33 PM EDT #

happy birthday brant! :D NOOO i cant wait till next tuesday! its too long!

Posted by mely on August 20, 2009 at 12:34 PM EDT #

the 2nd chapter of suspicion is GREAT! thanks erika for saying u read it on simon&schuster!

Posted by Jessica:) on August 20, 2009 at 12:36 PM EDT #

i would never date someone my friends hate.friends are always there for you but your boyfriend can break up woth you any time

Posted by mckenna on August 20, 2009 at 12:39 PM EDT #

These webisode are interesting. I just wait until thursday and watch all three of them at once. But to be perfectly honest, the people that don't live in the U.S aren't really missing much so don't worry. The second chapter of suspicion was decent. I really like the person that Kate Brian got to save her. But I'm going to be kind of mad if this entire book takes place on the island again. I want them to go back to Easton with everyone. And also, correct me if I'm wrong, but was Reed not mad at Upton at the end of Paradise Lost? So what made her forgive him? It seemed a little out of canon.

Posted by Kierstin on August 20, 2009 at 12:51 PM EDT #

Oh, and I don't think Brant reads the comments. Wait, actually... maybe he does? Because Sanna was reading the comments one day, and she was saying how they were really mean (because most of them was about here, apparently) and Brant replied on Twitter about it, so maybe he does? :D

Posted by Yvonne on August 20, 2009 at 12:53 PM EDT #

I really liked this episode. But it seems like everything is moving soooo fast. I mean it is already technically at the end of the first book. I guess I'm just going to have to wait to find out what happens next. I am really enjoying tuning in :)

Posted by Ava on August 20, 2009 at 01:02 PM EDT #

I just read chapter 2 of suspicion! ha! i knew it was sawyer! about the question, of course i'd still date the guy. friends are there to give advice but that doesn't mean you have to follow them. i trust my friends but i also trust my own judgement. i have to find out from the guy what's with him that my friends disapproves of. besides, we learn from our mistakes.

Posted by audrey on August 20, 2009 at 01:09 PM EDT #

would i date someone my friends didnt aprove of?... well, yes i would. i mean it sucks that he is a skater and not a jock but he is a great guy who is into the same things as me(hypatheticlly).Okay, well i liked this episode alot. Did you see that kiss? that is how you are supposed to kiss.... oh Lord.. sanna is so lucky. wow i dont want thomas to leave just yet. but i do think its time for josh to enter reeds love life!

Posted by Ariana on August 20, 2009 at 01:09 PM EDT #

Where do you find chapter 2?

Posted by Ariana on August 20, 2009 at 01:11 PM EDT #

okay so i dont get to watch the webseries but I just read the second chapter of suspicion aswell and it was amazing! I'm so excited! Cant wait for it to finally come out!

Posted by Rosie on August 20, 2009 at 01:18 PM EDT #

how did you guys even get brants twitter? lol

Posted by Emily on August 20, 2009 at 01:27 PM EDT #

Thomas is sooo weird and not how he seems in the book....he is creepy and talks weird!!

Posted by Christie on August 20, 2009 at 01:27 PM EDT #

I just wondering... but why is Thomas always wearing the same clothes in the episodes?

Posted by Yvonne on August 20, 2009 at 01:28 PM EDT #

If you google his name, his Twitter and website comes up. (His twitter is his name, twitter.com/brantdaugherty) :)

Posted by Yvonne on August 20, 2009 at 01:29 PM EDT #

haha, well that mustve been easy. XD

Posted by EmmaXxCanada on August 20, 2009 at 01:32 PM EDT #

i loved the second chapter! wow i really like sawyer alot better than Upton, but i still like Josh the best. oh and Thomas is always wearing the same exact thing isnt he?

Posted by Ariana on August 20, 2009 at 01:40 PM EDT #

um excuse me?! where's chapter 2 of suspicion?! HELP! HELP! HELP!

Posted by Justine on August 20, 2009 at 01:58 PM EDT #

OMG when Thomas goes "screw you" i started cracking up omg it was HALARIOUS loved it! hahah still laughing...can wait for more i like how the billing girls like were making her feel better.

Posted by Allie on August 20, 2009 at 02:13 PM EDT #

Thank you so much for posting that link, Justine, I was going crazy! Aw that was SO good, but I am so mad at Upton. I wish Reed would've told him to go away when he pushed Sawyer to the side. I love Sawyer!

Posted by Lizzie on August 20, 2009 at 02:13 PM EDT #

LIZZIE who doesnt lol id so date sawyer and that freaking sucks to have your bra in the ocean (if thats what happened)

Posted by Amanda on August 20, 2009 at 02:20 PM EDT #

okay, i didn't really like this episode at all. now the billings girls have no reason to do what they did to thomas because he didn't embarass reed. im dissappointed. and why is noelle being so mean? she's supposed to actually like reed.

Posted by ashley on August 20, 2009 at 02:23 PM EDT #

Okay, I'm getting really fed up with not being able to watch this, Kate. It shouldn't be that hard to get these episodes in Canada.

Posted by Consuelas on August 20, 2009 at 02:32 PM EDT #

Just finished reading the second chapter of suspicion . One word -amazing !!! I reckon this book is gonna be soooo awesome . I cannot wait for september 8th . I Really hope reed and josh get back together . That would so make my day . Go team Rosh !!!!! Love you kate !!!!!

Posted by Ashley on August 20, 2009 at 02:33 PM EDT #

AHHH! i just read chapter two of suspicion and it was amazing! reed has a lot of guy choices. i mean she has josh back home, upton, and im pretty sure that sawyer has a thing for her too. I have no idea how she's going to choose. I just know that i want upton to go somewhere else. i don't like him. sawyer is adorable and he actually believes her!!!

Posted by ashley on August 20, 2009 at 02:49 PM EDT #

Why would thomas leave reed like that? Why do I smell ariana osgood has something to do with this. 6 episodes deep and drama is already strating. So tell me do you think ariana is up to no good ?

Posted by Kimberly on August 20, 2009 at 02:49 PM EDT #

OMG THANK YOU!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THE SECOND CHAPTER!!!!!!!!!!! and i really like Sawyer, i dont trust Upton for some reason....just dont like him...

Posted by Natasha White on August 20, 2009 at 02:51 PM EDT #

For those of you who are mad that Noelle isn't being very nice to Reed, maybe you need to re-read Private. Noelle wasn't very nice to Reed until late into Invitation Only. And she wasn't even super close with her until around early Confessions. This is Noelle Lange, the leader of Billings House, why would she be nice to some transfer? The way they are doing the webisodes reminds me of how Sabine wasn't grateful to be placed in Billings. The beginning frustrated me because Reed started off in Billings, so she had no reason to want it.

Posted by Kierstin on August 20, 2009 at 02:53 PM EDT #

Also, I'm thinking of starting an IF forum where all of us PRIVATE fans can chat easier. Does that sound fun? :D

hey, i have been on here in forever. im at school right now lol. bt i cnt watch the episode cuz then id get caught bti cant wait to see it when i get home. it wont be long til suspicion comes out. yay!

Posted by genelle on August 20, 2009 at 03:01 PM EDT #

whoa that was like the best epi right now I am so sad tht Tomas left!! I hope it isnt getting closer to where he dies...Also I would probably date a guy my friends dissaprove of but i know they wouldnt abadon me because of that but if he was really bad news and they all told me I would listen.. LUV the epi1!!!

Posted by NOANN on August 20, 2009 at 03:05 PM EDT #

Can't wait for suspicion .I absolutely loved the first chapter. Does anyone have any ideas over who pushed reed as i am literally dieing to find out . Just wish september would come faster. Oh well only 19 more days to go I think =D GO PRIVATE! Oh and by the way does anyone think josh and reed will get back together in suspicion????? I hope they do lol

Posted by Roxy on August 20, 2009 at 03:06 PM EDT #

I think that someone tried to frame Noelle at the end of Paradise Lost b/c of the necklace. It was hers and she wouldn't want that to be lost, would she? Kate, can u start a Suspicion countdown on the side of the page? That would be really cool. Thanks!

Posted by Steph on August 20, 2009 at 03:44 PM EDT #

KRISTI! Continue the series! It is sooooo good! It can be creepie at parts but it really isn't too bad. You should also read Last Christmas. I think it came out either after Ambition or revelation. You should probably wait until then to read it. But if you want to read it earlier than those books atleast wait to read it until after you've read "Confessions". As for the Spin off? Read that too. I think that came out a little after Paradise Lost. So again, don't read it until you've atleast read "Confessions". But seriously, KEEP READING IT! It is so worth it. You will absolutly love it! But if you do decide to go on, I would stop watching the webseries until you've finished the fourth book. O, and I have a question for you, did you finish the first book "Private" before you started watching the webseries?

Posted by Justine on August 20, 2009 at 03:50 PM EDT #

KRISTI! "Last Christmas" is the prequil to Private. But if you read it to soon it could ruin things for you! I hope that helped.:D

Posted by Justine on August 20, 2009 at 03:52 PM EDT #

I cant see them!! im live in the uk and u have no idea how stressed i am!! i really want to see them!!! im like a massive fan!!! id love to see them xx

Posted by mairhi on August 20, 2009 at 03:53 PM EDT #

The episode was waay to short. I think that there should've been more build up and thomas shouldve been madder. They've only been dating for like 2 days! Oh well, its still good. I just read the 2nd chapter of suspicion and i loved it!!! Can't wait to read the whole thing!!!!

Posted by Harley on August 20, 2009 at 03:57 PM EDT #

thanks justine! :) i guess i will continue with the series, then :) my friend told me about the web series actually so ive been watching it and it seemed good. i finished private in a day, it was great ;D sooo to simply answer your question, basically i read private after seeing the first 3 epies of private. ;D

Posted by kristi on August 20, 2009 at 03:58 PM EDT #

Another sad, pathetic, and cheesy webcast oh my gosh, I keep praying that the series will get better. But no such luck.

Posted by Tory on August 20, 2009 at 04:00 PM EDT #

ok! Thanks for answerinf my question! And no problem. But ya, if you want to be surprised you should stop watching the web series. Has your friend read all of theem? And do you like the book or the web series better?

Posted by Justine on August 20, 2009 at 04:01 PM EDT #

I read all the books and I adore the novel series. I expected more from this webcast.

Posted by Tory on August 20, 2009 at 04:03 PM EDT #

yes my friend has, she got so excited when i told her i read the first book lol :) i guess i like the book better, cuz the web series is kinda confusing, and off on the book but it is good though (the webseries and book) :)

Posted by kristi on August 20, 2009 at 04:08 PM EDT #

I think that someone tried to frame Noelle at the end of Paradise Lost b/c of the necklace. It was hers and she wouldn't want that to be lost, would she? SPOILER!!! Thank God Sawyer was the one who pushed Reed. He totally likes her tho, and I wish she did too! Stop with the players Reed!!! They're annoying me! Kate, can u start a Suspicion countdown on the side of the page? That would be really cool. Thanks!

Posted by Steph on August 20, 2009 at 04:10 PM EDT #

Did she like force you to read the books? Because i've been trying to get my sister and best friend to read the series but they won't!:(

Posted by Steph on August 20, 2009 at 04:10 PM EDT #

well she was REALLY excited when the casting call and web series started and she would be talking about it A LOT, so i was like "well, it's probably really good if she's getting that excited" haha, so i read it :)

Posted by kristi on August 20, 2009 at 04:15 PM EDT #

i loved the episode but i still would have gone with the billings girls.

Posted by lulu on August 20, 2009 at 04:16 PM EDT #

Haha. Ya my friend makes fun of me sometimes for being so into books.

Posted by Justine on August 20, 2009 at 04:17 PM EDT #

I KNOW this is off-topic (aren't the comments supposed to be about the show? haha) but since everyone else is commenting on it....I think Suspicion will be VERY interesting, at least for me because I literally have no clue who could have pushed Reed off the boat. I doubt it was Poppy & co. because that's much too obvious. I originally thought it was a guy because Reed said she smelled a musky scent, but my best friend pointed out that sometimes girls perfume can smell musky as well. So who knows? After reading the two chapters though, I really, REALLY like Sawyer a lot..even more than I did in Paradise Lost. He definitely has a small thing for Reed (he was sitting there in the hospital when no one else was! :D ) and I hope Reed gives him a chance. (Apparently there's a 1000 character limit so...this is to be continued...:p)

Posted by Lauren on August 20, 2009 at 04:18 PM EDT #

(Continued..lol) As much as I love Josh because of how sweet and cute he is, but I don't see him being cruel enough to Ivy and breaking up with her because of Reed, especially because of what had happened. I'm pretty sure Ivy genuinely likes Josh a lot because she seemed so happy when she was talking about spending Christmas with Josh. Then Upton, as hot as he sounds...once a player always a player. I don't trust him one bit. I don't care how many times he says he's in "love" with Reed. I also noticed when I was browsing through the comments that some people thought the flash of blonde hair from chapter 1 was Josh? No offense, but how would that conclusion be drawn? He's in the States with Ivy...so unless he has Reed danger senses and the ability to get across the ocean, haha. I really hope to see who pushed Reed and see her give Sawyer a chance and dump Upton's sorry butt!

this show is so short why is it called an episode. an episode is like 30 minutes! I HATE THIS SHOW.and why do u have to do a math problem to write ur comment!

Posted by sydney on August 20, 2009 at 04:19 PM EDT #

i love the show and all bt i think thomas's acting is really bad. and u shouldnt hav picked him to play the part just cuz he looked it u shud hav picked someone who has both(good acting and good looks. You need an actor who will bring the story to life!

Posted by Lauren on August 20, 2009 at 04:27 PM EDT #

Please make it avalible in th UK! I'm soo desperate to watch it! :)

Posted by Gemma on August 20, 2009 at 04:28 PM EDT #

I couldn't date someone my friends don't approve of. At the end of the day, you still have your friends instead of the boy. My friends are my world, I couldn't do that to them. It would unnecessary friction. I still can't get over the fact that Taylor likes Josh! The whole Blake/Kiran thing, wasn't a shocker. I've seen it coming since The Casting Call.

Posted by Desi on August 20, 2009 at 04:36 PM EDT #

Amazing!!!!

Posted by RenaeKaitlin on August 20, 2009 at 04:37 PM EDT #

wait 1 sec!!!!!!! if kiran likes blake, then who's gonna be the one to set josh free when he is arrested?? it can't be kiran...OMGOMGOMG MESSED UP p.s. i think daniel and page's mom pushed reed

Posted by Haley on August 20, 2009 at 04:39 PM EDT #

The math question is like one of those codes you sometimes have to do when you sign up for stuff (like e-mail accounts, Myspace, etc.) Except I guess they decided to use math problems instead of codes. ;)

Posted by Yvonne on August 20, 2009 at 04:51 PM EDT #

wow good episode! aw josh.. such a sweet heart. :) i hope he and taylor do NOT get together though... JOSH + REED FEREVER! (and upton.... and sawyer...) :)

Posted by Jessica on August 20, 2009 at 05:01 PM EDT #

Okay so Ive been reading the comments for the web series almost every day and Im getting a little frustrated with them. No the web series isnt exactly like the books but its similiar enough. You need to trust the writers enough to know that they will do these books justice. People need to stop complaining about every little detail thats a bit different and just enjoy the show. At least the series is mainly similiar and didnt just keep the names and completely change the story line like they did with gossip girl. I personally really enjoy the web series, even though the books are definitely better. If you just watch and enjoy the show instead of picking out every single little difference you'll like it soo much better. Im happy with it because they basically have the jist of the novels, which is what I was hoping for. My only complaint is that they are too short but we cant really do anything about that

Posted by Kristen on August 20, 2009 at 05:03 PM EDT #

So I wonder if Arianna Kills Thomas in the web series?!?!?! Since he says this is the last time you'll see me.... AND did anyone notice when Thomas showed up and they flashed to the Billings girls how mad Arianna looked?!?! She's a good actress!!!!

Posted by Lauren on August 20, 2009 at 05:18 PM EDT #

I agree with Kristen's post. :) (above Lauren's post)

Posted by Yvonne on August 20, 2009 at 05:20 PM EDT #

Hey, but when Brant does his pleading eyes, it's kinda cute. ;] It's exactly how I imagined it when the scene in Private (the book), where he begs Reed to forgive him and such. :)

Posted by Yvonne on August 20, 2009 at 05:23 PM EDT #

Awww. I feel so bad for thomas. I like the episode, i just wish that it was longer like the last one.

Posted by Ellie on August 20, 2009 at 05:38 PM EDT #

i thought thomas was going to be more of a jerk like in the book. was he even drunk?

Posted by Elisa on August 20, 2009 at 05:40 PM EDT #

Most likely not. But the series are getting a looot better. I thought I'd be disappointed, but so far, so good (:

Posted by Allie on August 20, 2009 at 05:46 PM EDT #

im almost 100% sure the next part is gonna be about when tomas goes missing.. i bet the billings girls kindap him for doing that to reed xoxo

Posted by steff on August 20, 2009 at 06:00 PM EDT #

Just read chapter 2 it was amazing, go on: http://books.simonandschuster.com/Suspicion/Kate-Brian/Private/9781416958857/excerpt_with_id/14479. To see it.

Posted by Christine on August 20, 2009 at 06:14 PM EDT #

I think Ivy Should get together with Gage so Reed can be with Josh -simple

Posted by Ashley on August 20, 2009 at 06:15 PM EDT #

I'm really confused!! someone help!! Is this suppose to be the bonfire at the very end of the book?? If it is, then they skipped out on Reed and Thomas's relationship. They weren't even really together that long!! They didn't even spend that night in his dorm room....so was this a party or is the other one still to come??? Someone help!!!

Posted by Nicole on August 20, 2009 at 06:15 PM EDT #

maybe the person who pushed reed off the boat took the necklace off reeed so that it would look like noelle was the suspect number one,, thats the only reason i can come up cause i just refuse to think that it was noelle who did it

Posted by steff on August 20, 2009 at 06:19 PM EDT #

I guess it kind of depends for me

Posted by The It Girl on August 20, 2009 at 06:25 PM EDT #

its kind of corny how thomas and reed are like all intense and obsessed when theyve talked like twice maybe

Posted by caylee on August 20, 2009 at 06:38 PM EDT #

has anyone figued out what that song is that everyone is asking about, when shes getting the test? Kate can you pleaseeeeeee tell us! everyone wants to know!

Posted by Elisa on August 20, 2009 at 06:51 PM EDT #

really, it's brant's birthday? cool mine is nine days after his! AUGUST BABIES, gotta love them.

Posted by camille on August 20, 2009 at 06:54 PM EDT #

I think each episode has like, a different time span. Like in ep. 5, Reed was like "i'm totally falling for a guy..." i think like, from the time reed met thomas to when they kissed was like, one week. the episodes are short so they have to do it like that.

Posted by Allie on August 20, 2009 at 06:57 PM EDT #

Im sorry but I love the Private books but in the show they do it soooo out of order and some of that didnt happen like that.

Posted by Necole on August 20, 2009 at 06:58 PM EDT #

p.s. the song when reed's getting the test is by We3Kings, which i think is like, the companys music group.

Posted by Allie on August 20, 2009 at 06:58 PM EDT #

*Sigh* Thomas is leaving...*SIGH*. So depressing. Reed made the right choice like Noelle said. Guys like Thomas are...you know. Well what im trying to say is 'There are more fish in the sea'. Ha. I sound so cliché!!

Posted by Tyra Ann on August 20, 2009 at 07:12 PM EDT #

Do you know what the song is called though?

Posted by Elisa on August 20, 2009 at 07:34 PM EDT #

omg the second chapter is great!

Posted by YAY on August 20, 2009 at 07:40 PM EDT #

um thanks for spoiling the second chapter for us..? if you really did read the second chapter and i like the episodes there getting better i wish they were longer though and i don't like the whole Blake and Thomas being good friends and how theres no natasha or leanne or constance missy cheyenne etc. and this episode was kind of weird but good at the same time can't wait till next weeK!

Posted by mona on August 20, 2009 at 07:49 PM EDT #

This was an okay episode, but it was a little bit of a let down. It's okay that the show isn't like the book exactly, because it's a show and you can't expect it to be the same. But I thought that Thomas wasn't trying hard enough to get Reed to come. He's just like, Reed, come, no? okay later. I wish he would've just put up more of a fight. But, I guess it was okay. Still eager to see the next one.

Posted by Christine on August 20, 2009 at 07:56 PM EDT #

Yeah, agreed. Thomas should have been more aggresive and like, wasted. He should have been "You know what, fine!" blah blah blah with an push or something. he sounded madder for two seconds wen he was like "shouldda known youd be with them. is that y ur not answering my calls?!"

Posted by Allie on August 20, 2009 at 08:06 PM EDT #

are you sure that song is by we3kings cuz it says that in the credits after every episode and i was looking online and the songs i found by them didn't sound like the same band as that one song.

Posted by Elisa on August 20, 2009 at 08:08 PM EDT #

haha he sounded like he ws gonna cry more than he was mad!

Posted by Elisa on August 20, 2009 at 08:09 PM EDT #

hey kateee ! please make the episodes available outside the us, or put them on a canada base site too pleaseee ! i reeeeeeeallly wanna seee theseeee !

Posted by Ayesha on August 20, 2009 at 08:12 PM EDT #

ok so i'll prolly get dissed for saying this but i dont think the guy that plays thomas is that good of an actor :/ he's really hott dont get me wrong but i dont know i think he over acts somtimes :/ i love the personality of thomas in the book, but i'm kinda disappointed but keep up the good work everyone its a great web-show

Posted by whit on August 20, 2009 at 08:16 PM EDT #

ok the show is now officially completely different from the books i dont really like it. i love the books!!!i agree with everyone that reed should dump uptons sorry ass and i like sawyer but how can they be together when reed goes back to easton and hes whereever and reed is alone with josh at easton. and i think josh is waiting for the right time to break up with ivy like when shes 100% again and ill think shell understand why too. but im all for team ROSH or Jeed or joed or resh hahahaha!!! and i agree with the person who pointed out that josh is in the states so he couldnt possibly save reed! but i cant wait for the book to come out and for everyone to go back to easton to see what happens there and these math probs are getting harder why?

Posted by haley on August 20, 2009 at 08:16 PM EDT #

hey kate,my name is stephanie and i am a private lover,i really got pysched about the show,and wen i foudn out that you posted tons of videos about it on your site i got really pysced,but then i foudn ot i cant watch it becuase i live in canada,is there a way you can put it on your myspace profile,or even youtube? yous truly steph thomas pearson lover :) lol

Posted by stephanie on August 20, 2009 at 08:17 PM EDT #

hey kate, i'm andrea and i really love the books. i was really excited about the show, but now i am really disappointed that i can't watch it because i live in canada. i think that is really disappointing and kind of discriminating. why can't canadians watch it??

Posted by andrea on August 20, 2009 at 08:32 PM EDT #

it's not discriminating at all. ...they just can't post it legally in the us. it's not like theyre like "ok. only us citizens can watch it."

Posted by Allie on August 20, 2009 at 08:34 PM EDT #

r u talking to me about the chapter thingy? if so, how did i ruin it?

Posted by YAY on August 20, 2009 at 08:44 PM EDT #

Honestly, you guys are being WAY to picky about the web series being as close as the books. If you guys have seen movies based on books before, you should that movies always change up at least two things in the plot, usually a lot more than two things. Like for example, Harry Potter. If we didn't have such advanced technology today, then the Harry Potter movies would probably be off the books and not as good as the book series. SO, we should GRATEFUL for what the web series was able to bring for us. And realize that this is a WEB SERIES, not a movie, or a TV show on some popular channel. (cont...)

Posted by Yvonne on August 20, 2009 at 09:01 PM EDT #

(... cont'd) It probably didn't have a one million spending budget so I'm pretty the director, producers, and the rest of the cast tried their best as POSSIBLE to be able to film with what they had. And plus, if you think about, since the plot is changed up a bit, don't you have something to look FORWARD TO each Tues-Thurs? Because something DIFFERENT could happen, and that's always exciting, you know. ;) Sorry, but the complaining was kind of getting annoying and I just wanted to say this. :)

Posted by Yvonne on August 20, 2009 at 09:02 PM EDT #

i agree with Yvonne

Posted by MHMM on August 20, 2009 at 09:10 PM EDT #

Yay, someone agrees with me![x Thanks. :)

Posted by Yvonne on August 20, 2009 at 09:11 PM EDT #

Whoops, typo in my "cont'd" post. I meant "I'm pretty sure the director, producter..." ;)

Posted by Yvonne on August 20, 2009 at 09:12 PM EDT #

brant is so cute... (: and so is chord overstreet!! gah tooo bad upton and sawyer wont be in the web series... I WISH THEY WOULD DO ALL THE BOOKS!!

Posted by Jessica on August 20, 2009 at 09:18 PM EDT #

the second chapter was really good. this is tortuing me! i wanna read the whole book! i can't wait til sept 8!

Posted by Elisa on August 20, 2009 at 09:20 PM EDT #

sigh ; sad episode because it makes me wonder... the girls originally kidnapped thomas because he embarrased Reed- but he didnt do anything of that here, so it makes me wonder what the next twist is.. i guess alot of us want the episodes to be a little more like the book because they leave out alot of important details.. none the less, i still appreciate it !

Posted by cantrell on August 20, 2009 at 09:29 PM EDT #

where did you guys see the second chapter of suspicion at ?

Posted by cantrell on August 20, 2009 at 09:31 PM EDT #

cantrell- type in simonandschuster.com and in the search bar look up suspicion kate brian. then click on suspicion's book cover. it'll lead u to all the info about suspicion. then scroll down and it says read excerpts. some people posted the link WAY above. and do you guys think they posted it without her permission? i mean, i know she signs with them, but she never told us about it!!!

Posted by Allie on August 20, 2009 at 09:38 PM EDT #

thank you Allie i found it -- but it makes me wonder why kate wouldnt put it on her blog if its released ;

Posted by cantrell on August 20, 2009 at 09:43 PM EDT #

That episode was AMAZING!!! I really enjoyed it!! You can definetly tell Josh Has feelings for Reed because he kept sticking up for her And he was kindof Jealous!!!! I <3 Chord Overstreet he is HOT!!!

Posted by Alice Cox on August 20, 2009 at 09:45 PM EDT #

Guys, it is probably posted legally. I think it is her publisher. Maybe she didn't tell us about it or put it on her blog because she wanted us to be surprised on september eigth. She can't help it or put a stop to it if people read it there.

Posted by Justine on August 20, 2009 at 09:52 PM EDT #

AHHH! I read it! AHhh! So intense I can feel the ATTRACTION! AHH!

Posted by tyra on August 20, 2009 at 10:07 PM EDT #

i dont think it matters if reed made a choice i wouldn't got anywhere with a drunk weather he was my bf or not

Posted by carly on August 20, 2009 at 10:11 PM EDT #

it wasnt good, its like a bad soap opera, seriously i thought that watching it would be like reading the book, but its really bad! i dont understand how u can go from amazing to an absolutely sad exxcuse for a Bad soap opera. oh and i found out that the girl who plays reed, shes a disney channel movie surfer! what the hell? can it be any worse? none of my friends like it either. such a dissapointment!

Posted by Lindsey on August 20, 2009 at 10:26 PM EDT #

I NEED TOO SEE THE SERIES!!!

PLEASE MAKE THE WEBSERIES AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE IN CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Brianne on August 20, 2009 at 11:15 PM EDT #

This webseries SUCKS!! Wow, thomas, great acting skills. I didn't even realize you were drunk and you looked so "sad". puh-leeze. oh and the music cutting off out of nowhere for the next arrangement: Amazing editing, guys! At least this Lyndsey girl gets it. It's ok, none of my friends like it either. People are begging for the webseries, and TRUST! you're not missing a thing, Canadians. And Noelle's face pisses me off. what's with the smirk? It's like only half of her face is disgusted.

Posted by Angelie on August 20, 2009 at 11:40 PM EDT #

Yeah I agree Thomas/ Brant whatever you want to call him Sucks at acting. Plain out SUCKS!!! I don't believe any of his acting, its FAKE! It's sooo fake it makes me laugh! He's hot and all but plain and simple HE CAN'T ACT!!! and this episode God his Acting was even worse. "This is the last time you'll see me Reed" WOW I'M SO GLAD I WON'T BE SEEING HIM AGAIN!! Soo dang happy that his Character gets killed off!! the Private show is going to be SO much better without him -Rebecca

Posted by Rebecca on August 21, 2009 at 12:40 AM EDT #

Wow, you guys are quite rude. How would you feel if someone said you sucked at whatever your talent is? You guys just need to deal with it. Trust me, I have a few complaints about the web series, too. I'm trying to ignore them while watching the episodes, and it isn't killing me or anything... :/

Posted by Yvonne on August 21, 2009 at 01:58 AM EDT #

yes thomas leave! then ariana becomes a total nutcase, you fall for josh, that ends, and you meet upton (who is ALSO a jerk but my favorite of reed's by far) but I might date a guy all my friends totally hated, but I'd make sure why they didn't like him first.

Posted by Annie on August 21, 2009 at 02:25 AM EDT #

Hi Kate! I first started reading the PRIVATE series last month and I've totally loved it since then! Thumbs up for your writing! I really love the series! By the way, can you pleaseee do whatever you can to make the web series available for fans all around the world? I live in Malaysia and apparently I'm not able to watch it. By the way, I'm currently reading Ambition and I'm so desperate to finding out whether Reed and Josh will get back together in the end! Can you please give me an answer for my question? Thanks! Love you, Kate! Sue

Posted by Sue on August 21, 2009 at 06:06 AM EDT #

P.S. No matter how good or bad it'll turn out to be, being such a huge Private fan I definitely wouldn't want to miss it!

Posted by Sue on August 21, 2009 at 06:07 AM EDT #

EMILY: computor ban got lifted early :)....i swear you have got to be the nicest person alive in the WHOLE universe!! thank you sooooo much, i can't believe thomas leaves like that!!!! that is such a noelle thing to say 'u made the right choice,' do u think u can carry on telling me what goes on??? can't wait for suspicion!!!! xx

Posted by danielle on August 21, 2009 at 08:05 AM EDT #

OMG!!! i love josh in this episode. but why does taylor have a crush on him??? and i read the second chapter to suspicion and it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!! I loved it. even though i wished josh would have shown up out of the blue. haha.

Posted by Jess on August 21, 2009 at 09:33 AM EDT #

lol yahh suree. :) and its no problem, really.

Posted by Emily on August 21, 2009 at 10:53 AM EDT #

im soooo excited for suspicion! :D im still wondering if that chapter is real thoughh. ): i hope it iss.

Posted by Emily on August 21, 2009 at 10:56 AM EDT #

ok well Spoiler: At the end of Revalation I was like in love with Josh &&& and im sure Reed was too. I think Upton is the perfect distraction for Reed to get over Josh. Lets face it thr is only a very small chance that they will get back togther. I reali don't like sawyer. im just ultimatly in love with Upton. Sawyer reminds me of Jacob in Twilight. Hes trying to steel Reed from Upton.

Posted by Jen on August 21, 2009 at 01:44 PM EDT #

To Jen: Did you mean Reed and Josh didn't get back together? Oh, I just love Josh! He's so sweet, caring and understanding although he's against the Billings Girls...Btw, Dash is so hot too!! So is Thomas..

Posted by Sue on August 21, 2009 at 02:04 PM EDT #

I do not think the series is as good as the book by a long shot!

Posted by Kylie on August 21, 2009 at 03:54 PM EDT #

okay so i really love the books! and i want to watch the web series but it says its not available in my area!!! is it not available for people in canada ? im really upsett :(

Yvonne, shut up. Excuse us for being unbable to ignore his suckiness! i mean really, god bless you if you can look past it and all, but we can't. ":/" w/e it's ok if you're easily impressed. im sure others find it endearing.

Posted by Angelie on August 23, 2009 at 07:14 PM EDT #

oh my gosh, I love Brant - he is so gorgeous, and i think this is like the most AWESOME web series ever, its so mysterious that it makes you wanna find out what happens next, and I just love the suspense too, its totally cool. Cant wait for the next episode to find out what happens at the legacy.

Posted by Kristina on August 23, 2009 at 08:33 PM EDT #

omg- its soooooooo annoying, i cant watch any of the links or the episodes, because it says im not allowed to, or something??? somebody please help me!! i really want to watch hem! arrrgghhhhh!! it looks sooooo good! xxx

i have to say that this is the episode that i really fell in love with josh(chord overstreet) but i want to know if he will end up with reed like in the book, because the episodes are so different than the book

Posted by Serena on August 24, 2009 at 07:51 PM EDT #

OMG. this totally sucks. i'm unable to watch the web series 'cause it isn't allowed in my region. how come?? i so like really, really need to watch them. i'm a huge fan of the books but w/o watching the series it's incomplete. please, please, please enable me and the fellow followers of Private novels in SEA to watch the webisodes!!
